The layer of the digestive tract that contains blood and lymph vessels and nerve cells is the sub mucosa. The sub mucosa layer is located underneath the mucosa layer.
The folds of the gastric mucosa are called RUGAE.
It’s the mucosa, not the submucosa.
Mucosa
The mucosa
The epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae are levels of the mucosa, which is the innermost layer of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The mucosa is responsible for absorption and secretion.
Digestive tract is made up of four layers . 1 serosa is outer layer . 2 Muscle layer is second part. 3 sub mucosa is third layer . 4 mucosa is the inner most layer .
The layer of the GI tract that functions by secreting a lubricating fluid is the mucosa. The mucosa layer is responsible for producing mucus, which acts as a lubricant to facilitate the movement of food through the digestive system. The mucus also protects the digestive organs from the effects of digestive enzymes and stomach acid.
Sub mucosa
The Mucosa layer contains lamina propia
The wall of pharynx consists of 4 layers: 1. Mucosa: Epithelium: Nasopharynx: respiratory epithelium "pseudostratified columnar ciliated with goblet cells". Oropharynx: oral mucosa "non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium". Lamina propria: Dense fibrous layer rich in elastic fibers - contains mucuos glands. Pharyngeal mucosa lacks muscularis mucosae. 2. Submucosa: loose CT 3. Muscular layer: this is composed of inner longitudinal and outer oblique striated muscle. 4. Fibrosa: thin layer of fibrous CT.
